THE BIRTHDAY MESSAGE.

On this wonderful day two and half decades ago I was conceived, created for a purpose and designed to achieve, my dreams and what I represent. I believe that your beliefs  become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions becomes your habits. Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny.

So, I am really delighted to write down the major things that will determined where I (you) are to where I (you) want to be.  

Three (3) major things to Note:

• Take 100 percent responsibility
• Decide what you want
• Believe it's possible.
  
  

Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life. Acknowledge that you create everything that happens to you. If you want to be really successful, and know you do, then you will have to give up blaming and complaining and take total responsibility for your life, you have to give up all your excuses. 

Be clear why you are here. Know that everything in life has a purpose. Learn to get to talk with yourself and know that everything in life has a purpose. Successful people take their time to understand what they are here to do and then they pursue that with passion and enthusiasm. Without a purpose in life, it's very easy to get side-tracked on your life's journey and with purpose, everything in life seems to fall in place. To be on purpose means, you're doing what you love to do, doing what you're good at and accomplishing what's important to you. Once you are clear about what brings you the greatest joy, you will have a major insight into your purpose.

Decide what you want. You must have to decide what you want out of life, once you have decided why you are here, you have to decide what you want to do, be and have.

One of the main reasons why most people don't get what they want, is because they haven't decided what they really want. They haven't defined their desires in their clear and compelling detail. Stop settling for less than what you want, and don't live someone else's dream. 

Believe it's possible. Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. You can be anything you want to be, if only you believe with sufficient conviction and action in accordance with your faith.

Whatever your dream is, look at yourself in a mirror and declare that you are indeed going to achieve it, no matter what the price. 

Note:

THE GOAL OF MOTIVATION

Have you being motivated before? What happened thereafter? Let me share my experience with you and then you can share yours in the comment section.

Few years ago I was totally broke and had no place where I could go for help (so my mind educated me). I came across an article which advised the importance of watching motivational videos on YouTube and listening to motivations on podcasts.

3 Months down the line, frustration became my roommate. If that was enough then maybe a quick remedy would have been fine but a year later, depression made its habitation in my bedroom.

Everyday I spent my time watching motivational videos but never getting tangible results. What is going on? I kept asking myself until this word hit me so hard;

"You Don't Know The Goal Of Motivation"

Most people think motivation is what bring the results, they don't know that the goal of motivation is different from their expectations. You may be expecting to be a millionaire in 3 Months time, if you don't understand the goal of motivation then you will fall into depression.

The goal of motivation is to deposit energy in your inside so you can chase after what's set before you. For instance, I want to make 500k from book project consulting services and I watch a motivational video saying yes it is possible.

What that video just did for me is to give me the energy I need in chasing after my desires. If I only get energy and don't do anything then the goal of motivation has been defeated.

This is why most individuals attend an online training, course or coaching program but never get results because they only embraced the energy without channeling it to a worthy course.

Today is the 8th day in June, don't waste motivation rather use it properly. Have something worthy to pursue and achieve this Month.

Remember, the goal of motivation is to energize you for chasing after the fulfilment of your desires. 

I know you have gotten value, do comment below what you have learnt and share with me the things you will be doing as a result of today's post. 

Also share with your friends.

UNDERSTANDING WHO A STRANGER IS

A stranger is a person who is unknown to another person or group. And because of this unknown status, a stranger may be perceived as a threat until their identity and character can be ascertained.

 Our parents warned us against talking to strangers because of history, culture, religion, etc. Probably, you were beaten many times for relating or even talking to a stranger. It came to a point that we grew up with fear of strangers. Fear of strangers is a learned fear and can be unlearned.
  You need to talk to strangers. To avoid strangers is to end up a failure in life. Strangers are the key to your next level in life. Strangers are the ladder that will take you to your next level. Therefore, if you avoid strangers you are going to be limited in your journey to destiny.

 "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

-------Hebrews 13:2------

Strangers are angels of destiny. They are the ones that will assist you in the journey.Strangers are gifts from God to your life to help you fulfill destiny with ease. In your journey to destiny, you will meet so many strangers. The reason is that without strangers life and destiny will be stagnated, stranded and frustrated. Strangers come to transport you from your present level to the next level of life that is more glorious. They are the bridge to your new glorious level in life.
  The house you are living was built by strangers. The food you ate today, the food stuffs were sold to you by strangers. The clothes you are wearing were sold to you by strangers. As a business man or woman, most of the people who buy from your shop are strangers. Young lady/man, you are not going to marry your family members but a stranger.
  It is impossible to live life effectively and fulfill destiny to the fullest without strangers. Friends, your money is the hands of strangers. Strangers are opportunities for possibilities. They are connections to high places in life.
  Great men and women know how to penetrate strangers and network with them to achieve their goals and fulfill destiny. Observe the rich and the poor in the market; the poor buys based on REDUCTION IN PRICE but the rich buys based on RELATIONSHIP WITH PEOPLE. He has contact of sellers and there is relationship.
Seeing how important strangers are, it is necessary to learn how to penetrate and connect with strangers. There are certain laws facilitate our access to strangers.
 

 NO.1:THE LAW OF COMPLIMENT  Compliment is more powerful than greetings. It feeds the ego of the stranger. A sincere compliment is one of the most effective method of penetrating and connecting with a stranger. Compliment breaks the defenses of the stranger. If you want to really connect with people, use compliment more than greetings.
  For examples,
  1) The fragrance of your perfume is fantastic.
2) Your hairstyle is beautiful!
3) Wow! Your suit is fine.
4) Wow! You look smart! You sound intelligent!
5) Your compound is fantastic.
6) Your Children are wonderful. etc.
You have greeted so many times today but have you said any sincere compliment to anyone?
  People who are so generous with their compliments do not lack friends. People tend to gravitate towards them. Critical people are relationship risk.
  Married couples, stop killing your marriage with critical comments.
There is always something to compliment about if you look well.
  Put a smile on your face and make compliment frequently.
 

 NO.2: THE LAW OF CELEBRATION  Celebration of the stranger's old victories gives him a sense of accomplishment. So, make a little effort to investigate his past victories and celebrated accordingly.
  For example:
 Sir, we are yet to recover from the positive impact of that short speech you made that day.
People gravitate towards where they are celebrated, not where they are tolerated.
Celebrate people and stop tolerated people.
